I like this much better than my guess.

Margetts was dropped for not paying the foot fend off by Greene.....

And I just read on Hawks Big Footy that Stevic is one of them.....so solve for 23!

I'm praying for anyone but Nicholls. The game will be worse off with him umpiring, not to mention how much he favours the Hawks. He is a horrible umpire and it still mystifies me how he is employed in a role he is unable to perform adequately.

All players who did the Perth Saturday night game should be ruled out for Friday...I hope

[Philthy 284]

We got Rosebury, Nicholls and Stevic #fistedforever

[Demon Disciple 12,315]

AFL again trying to manufacture the result.

Max needs to go over to that gooses house and have a beer with him.

[rjay 25,202]

Nichols has to have photo's, there's no way known he could get a game on merit...

there is incompetence when it comes to AFL umpires and....well....then there's Nicholls and his officiating of MFC games.   His sustained bias against Melbourne rules out incompetence (which is random) and leaves you with the unpalatable options of corruption or hatred. 

I haven't to date been able to postulate a credible theory around corruption so I am left to conclude it is a deeply rooted hatred of the MFC that has a conscious or subconscious manifestation in his match day officiating of MFC games. 

But make no mistake, it is REAL and he is a cheat.

On the flip side, it was pleasing to see Rosebury tell Howe to get up after the push from Caddy.   Clearly it should've been a free kick but Rosebury is an experienced umpire who was clearly aware of the niggle being deployed by Howe so let it go.  That augers well for Friday night as there'll be plenty more of that from Howe and Sicily as they try it on our young Dees.   I hope Aaron smashes the pair of them Jordan Murdoch style....

Nicholls is the worst umpire in the league. Worse than Pannell and that's saying something. Stevic follows shortly behind.

Disgusting.

There must be data available, though no doubt the AFL have hidden it deeply somewhere, on the number of frees by umpire for and against each team.

Absolutely no doubt that Nicholls gives more to the Hawks than most, and fewer against them, and fewer to the Dees and more against than any other umpire.

Seriously we will need to be a five goal better than Hawks team on Friday to have any hope at all.

Thanks Gillon.
